I know תשקיף is prospectus and I have seen "shelf prospectus" but not so much in US related context.
It seems too verbatim and before I use it I would like to know if there is a more appropriate term in US-EN.
Ideas anyone?

shelf prospectus
a shelf prospectus is a prospectus you file that has no particular deal attached to it. You are expected to act on it within the next two years. This is very common for debt but not common for equity. The main reason it isn't widely used for equity is due to the signaling effect that would occur when the market discovered that a firm was planning on issuing more equity. i.e. it would mean dilution which would decrease stock price. Debt can't be diluted so there isn't the same associated signaling effect to the market.

| Thank you Judith. I read the link you posted prior to posting my question and wasn't convinced this is a commonly used US term I will wait to see if anyone else makes another suggestion. |
